Rigidchips Robots

I have been secretly working on a multiplayer automatic RigidChips robot vehicle. It's a sorta pun on bee, ant, and termite castes

I call it

THE SWARM
  • Queen - Largest main bot that deploys other mini-bots.
  • Soldier - Follows other bots and protects them with a machine gun for a head.
  • Worker - Attacking by laying down mines right in front of other players.
  • Drones - Emergency distraction bots that act like shields.
They're basic form looks something like this:

Unfortunately, I added some new transform-when-flipped-over code and it bugged, so now something is wrong with the Lua that I don't know. It's just plain annoying - checked all the ends, thens, ifs, (), and all that stuff! And every time the entire Lua gets an error. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. But I will figure it out. Not a big deal.

I'm thinking of making flying/hovering ones, but I think I should stick with ground-only ones for now, or things will get too complicated.
